"I found the course very enjoyable and would not hesitate to recommend it to others. The course content was very relevant for our group and something I'll be able to apply in my day to day communications. Sue was a pleasure to have as a facilitator and very fun to work with throughout the day. Thanks Sue :)"

"Interactions with co workers was useful as it seemed like I understand them better now. sharing ideas and debates about certain topics also allowed me to express myself and gain ideas from others."

"It was useful to know about the skills how to communicate with people. And I hope to apply it to my work and community related. Thanks"

"it was good to have short bursts of energy to break up the lengthy parts."

Dynaspeak English

"Appreciate the way Ian ensured that the things I wanted to learn were covered and in going through the content took time to reiterate and use personal experience for me to learn."

KiwiRail

"The course was highly influential to every individual and a must go for the people especially who are from a different culture to adapt NZ standards."

Qual IT

"I had excellent feedback from Eugene today. He said the course was very good and he took a lot away from it. There was a spread of people from different backgrounds and jobs with interesting stories to tell. Can you pass this on to the course providers? Thank you for arranging the course for him."

KiwiRail

"This is by far one of the most useful courses I attended. As a team of strong communicators I was sceptical as to the benefit for us, but I was pleasantly surprised. The pace was flexible to suit our needs and lines of enquiry. I have plenty to think about and work on for the months ahead!"

"This course provides excellent tools and strategies for everyday communication. Increasing self awareness, recognising the needs of different personalities, and learning how to apply this in a practical way will be a focus for me. Being able to take part as a team has given greater benefit through shared discussion, observations and reinforcement that we want to continue to work together well."

Ashburton District Council

"The trainer's very maverick approach sticks out as a valuable tool in keeping the lesson as memorable as possible."

Reynolds Group

"The Training was very knowledgeable and tailored the approach to the individual's needs well."

"The course was good and Michael's personal touch made it great. For such a small group I felt he really covered what I was looking for and opened my eyes to what is actually happening in front me."

Individual Course Participant

"Really enjoyed my day's training the 3 circles are something that I can use every day with my staff and managers. I thought Terry was excellent in his presentation. Highly recommend."

Southern Paprika Ltd

"Terry is one of the best trainers I have had the pleasure of learning from. He was engaging, funny and very knowledgeable about the topic. The content was perfect and I would recommend this course, not only for work communication but also for personal communication with family/ friends."

"The presenter was very engaging and kept the participants interested."

"I really enjoyed the course and have taken away tools that are useful in both my work career and personal life. I would highly recommend the communications course to work colleges, including Senior Management."

Higgins

"Terry was great - very humorous and engaging, which made what could be a long day speed by :-)"

Auldhouse Auckland

"The three "D" was an eye opener for me. So often I get upset with rude contractors and the first thing that comes to mind is revenge. The outcomes are not always negative in terms of the relationship needed to complete a project. Knowing the three "D" will give me that frame of mind to step back, process the information and then formulate a response that is factual based and professionally sound."

"The entire course was insightful and informative. Good to learn a few different things about how people communicate without realising it, like with body language."

PNCC

"The topic was really interesting. It helped me boost my self-esteem and gain some confidence when communicating with others by using the techniques I have learned from the course."

Auldhouse Christchurch

"I would like to say Terry was a really good trainer and made things simple to understand and also really exciting and it helped me get his point across. I hope this will help me improve and get as good as he is in communicating. We had a lot of different types of people in the training and Terry accommodated us all and made everyone engaged. I was pleased with the training I received. Thank you."

Tip Top

"I found this course extremely useful. I was reluctant to attend as I have been to several communications training sessions with different organisations but I was so pleased I did go. Not only was it a good reminder/refresher of skills but there was lots of useful new information which I know I will find useful in my current working environment."

PNCC

"I enjoyed that Julia went out of the way to help one of the trainees and I felt this was very rewarding and have taken some of the skills into my job - especially being visible and making sure I am available."

"The course was very enjoyable."
